Hi, I'm (certainly) no Rcpp expert -- but have just one comment that might help for this and other people who might find themselves in this particular part of the situation regarding linking against an external library (w/o pulling in all sources into your project):

Study those -- pick any one you like and use, and then dissect it. In particular, the RSQLite package has provisions for you installing it against a version of sqlite that's already installed on your system (or you can optionally just install with the version of sqlite that comes with the package). Grab the sources here: http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/RSQLite_0.9-4.tar.gz Extract it and read through the inst/INSTALL file. Particularly at point (2).
